<p><span style="color:#8e44ad;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Deductions from the Given Information</span></span></p>
<p>The main deduction that we want to make is that the shape on the right can be divided into two smaller shapes: a rectangle and a right triangle (see diagram below).</p>

<p><span style="color:#27ae60;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Solving the Problem</span></span></p>
<p><strong>Quantity A </strong>can be solved simply by multiplying $8$ and $3$ together to get $24$. And now that we have divided the other shape into two smaller shapes, we can calculate its area. The area of the rectangular region is $4 \times 5 = 20$ and the area of the right triangle is $\frac{4 \times 2}{2} = 4$. Adding these two regions together we get $20+4=24$ for <strong>Quantity B</strong>.</p>
<p>Thus, the answer is <strong><span style="color:#27ae60;">C, The two quantities are equal</span></strong>.</p>
